Nicene Creed

I believe in God, the Father, the Almighty,maker of heaven and earth,and all that is seen and unseen.I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father,God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God,begotten, not made, one in Being with the Father.Through him all things were made.For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven:by the power of the Holy Spirit he was born of the Virgin Mary,and became man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered, died, and was buried.On the third day he rose againin fulfilment of the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in gloryto judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the Lord, the giver of life,who proceeds from the Father and the Son.With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified.He has spoken through the Prophets.I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.I acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.I look for the resurrection of the dead,and the life of the world to come.Amen

The Mission of this Blog

The Mission of this Blog is to bring light and truth to the world of those horrible events which comprise the satanic and masonic attack on Holy Mother Church called the French Revolution, and those attacks which continue today throughout the world.

I shall endevour to confine myself to the historical aspects including those events and persons which inspired, or were inspired by that period of French history, and how they relate to today.

I am a Roman Catholic in good standing, well Baptised and brought up in the Faith.

I am a Monarchist, and therefore I believe that a republican form of government is repugnant, and unsupported by scripture.

I believe that the American Revolution, and French Revolutions, including the Paris commune, were the inspiration for the communist revolutions.

I believe that God and God alone, not the masses, is the source of authority from whom all rulers, including presidents, are soley responsible.

I believe that His Most Christian Majesty in the person of Louis-Alphonse, Duc d'Anjou is the true and rightful King of France, and by God's Grace shall be restored to the ancient throne of France.

St Basil Cathedral in Moscow, 450 years old today

I am not a Russian Orthodox Catholic However I have often admired the beauty, simplicity, and grandeur of the places and faith of our Russian Orthodox brothers and sisters.Above: St. Basil's Cathedral in 1900.

Cathedral of St. Basil the Blessed is an architectural symbol of Moscow and Russia. The church, now a museum, is celebrating its 450th anniversary on July 12.

The Cathedral of the Protection of Most Holy Theotokos on the Moat, popularly known as Saint Basil's Cathedral is a Russian Orthodox church erected on the Red Square in Moscow in 1555–61. Built on the order of Ivan IV of Russia to commemorate the capture of Kazan and Astrakhan, it marks the geometric center of the city and the hub of its growth since the 14th century. It was the tallest building in Moscow until the completion of the Ivan the Great Bell Tower in 1600.

The original building, known as "Trinity Church" and later "Trinity Cathedral", contained eight side churches arranged around the ninth, central church of Intercession; the tenth church was erected in 1588 over the grave of venerated local saint Vasily (Basil). In the 16th and the 17th centuries the church, perceived as the earthly symbol of the Heavenly City, was popularly known as the "Jerusalem" and served as an allegory of the Jerusalem Temple in the annual Palm Sunday parade attended by the Patriarch of Moscow and the tsar.The building's design, shaped as a flame of a bonfire rising into the sky, has no analogues in Russian architecture: "...It is like no other Russian building. Nothing similar can be found in the entire millennium of Byzantine tradition from the fifth to fifteenth century ... a strangeness that astonishes by its unexpectedness, complexity and dazzling interleaving of the manifold details of its design..."(Shvidkovsky 2007, p. 126)The cathedral foreshadowed the climax of Russian national architecture in the 17th century.

The building was consecrated on 12 July 1561, and was subsequently elevated to the status of a sobor (similar to Roman Catholic ecclesiastical basilica, but usually and incorrectly translated as "cathedral"). "Trinity", according to tradition, refers to the easternmost sanctuary of Holy Trinity, while the central sanctuary of the church is dedicated to Intercession of Mary. Together with the westernmost sanctuary of Entry into Jerusalem, these sanctuaries form the main west–east axis (Christ, Mary, Holy Trinity), while other sanctuaries are dedicated to individual saints, being:

A Miraclous Find.

Tradition relates, that on the day of consecration the church itself became part of Orthodox thaumaturgy. According to the legend, its "missing" ninth church (precisely, sanctuary) was "miraculously found" during a ceremony attended by Tsar Ivan IV, Metropolitan Makarius and divine interference of Saint Tikhon. Piskaryov's Chronist wrote in the second quarter of the 17th century:

"...And the tsar came to dedication of said church with tsaritsa Nastasia and with father Metropolitan Makarius and brought the icon of miraclemaker Nicholas that came from Vyatka. And they began to offer a prayer service and to make sanctified water. And the tsar touched the base with his own hands. And the builders saw that another sanctuary appeared, and told the tsar. And the tsar, and metropolitan, and all the clergy were surprised by the finding of another sanctuary... And the tsar ordered to dedicate it to Nicholas ..."
